Shellow Bowells (or occasionally misspelt as Shellow Bowels) is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Willingale, in the Epping Forest District of Essex, England. It is situated 6 miles (10 km) to the west of Chelmsford, between the villages of Willingale on its westerly border and Roxwell on its east. In 1931 the civil parish had a population of 95.^[1]

On 1 April 1946 the parish was abolished to form Willingale.^[2] The village name is believed^{[by whom?]} to be derived from Shellow, meaning a bend in the river, and the Beaulieu family.

The village church, dedicated to St Peter and St Paul, is no longer in use as such, having become a private dwelling.

Shellow Bowells is mentioned by Bill Bryson in Notes From A Small Island and Paul Theroux's The Kingdom By The Sea.^{[citation needed]} It is referred to as Shallow Bowells in Part Five of Random Harvest by James Hilton.^[3]
